Destiny players are a lot like World of Warcraft players, they are willing to grind through hours and hours of the game gameplay to get a better piece of equipment to grind away more hours. This was recently made a bit more worth while when a German player finally got their hands on the Crux…

In a Bungie blog update today, sandbox engineer Jon Cable offers a nice layman’s look at how deep bugs get by the team, and why they can be so tricky to fix. This is a bug that’s been irritating Destiny players for some time (no-one likes to see valuable ammo disappear), so why hasn’t it…

That’s Bungie’s Lead Designer Luke Smith, talking on NeoGAF about the specific faults of The Dark Below and how the systems will change in the second DLC pack, House of Wolves. In his post, Smith acknowledges that there’s a lot that doesn’t work in the Crota’s End Raid, and that Bungie won’t be making the same…

If Bungie can take anything away from the launch of The Dark Below, it’s that it was generally well-received. New missions, new weapons and a fantastic new Raid finally made Destiny feel like more of a complete experience. Yes, it was still paid downloadable content and many still argue that the core game wasn’t worth…

Luke Smith, the lead designer of Destiny‘s sprawling raid quests, knows that a lot of people aren’t very happy with the Crota’s End raid introduced in the game’s first expansion, The Dark Below, and he understands why. Smith took to a discussion thread on NeoGAF over the weekend to address Destiny‘s fans directly, owning the…

For all its success and for all its fans, Destiny is missing so many pieces that could transform it from just a very good, Destiny power leveling give you a better game, very popular game into something truly great. At this point, I don’t think Destiny is going to implement the changes I’m hoping to…

Bungie has heard players’ criticisms about the progression system in Destiny’s first DLC, and said that it won’t repeat the same mistakes again when it releases the next DLC, House of Wolves. “Nothing specific to announce at this time, but the mistakes we made with the DLC1 reward economy will not be repeated,” Bungie design…

As covered in this Destiny guide. Destiny power leveling also has guides for you, the Necrochasm is obtained by getting the Husk of the Pit from a Swordbearer Knight and using an Embalming Orb to upgrade it to Eidolon Ally. The final evolution to Necrochasm requires the Crux of Crota, which can only be obtained…

According to Bungie, Destiny players purchased more than one million Ice Breakers when Xûr, Agent of the Nine, had the sniper rifle on sale last week. The mysterious vendor returned Friday, and PlayStation and Xbox players may find this weekend’s collection of Exotic weapons and items disappointing in comparison, unless you are a Hunter dancing…

Bungie’s Destiny has inspired some of the most ambivalent thoughts I’ve ever had while clutching a gamepad. Some people have said it’s the sort of game you either love or you hate. For me it’s much more of a love-hate relationship. It’s exactly what I want out of a video game, and yet its pieces…
